Sunday Groups for children and young people run alongside the 10:30am service at St Mary’s Parish Church (except for the first Sunday of the month, which is an All Age Service and Sensory Sunday). Each group helps children to explore the Bible in a way that is suitable for their age in an engaging and relevant way to enable them to develop and own faith of their own.
Our Sunday Groups run for the following age groups:
Seed and Grow: Pre-school, aged 0 to 4 years
Jesus and Me: Reception to School Year 2
Explorers: School Years 3 to 5
Pathfinders: School Years 6 to 8
CYFA: School Years 9 to 13, meets on Sunday evenings
Seed and Grow
In Seed and Grow our pre-school children have loads of fun learning from the Bible through play. Sessions include a Bible story, music, a craft and familiar songs. Currently, it is a requirement to have a grown-up with you for these sessions.
Our Pre-School children have loads of fun learning from the Bible through play. These sessions include a Bible story, music and craft each week. The session will take place in the West Room and will be approx 45mins long.
